Growing Tomatoes.

AJ r. G. johnson, in an article in the
Culture" says there is lone plan for getting
tomatoes into market early which have
never seen described and thought l would
give it to your readers if you care to print
it, 1t is not exactly new way either but
a great improvement think on the old way
of using pots 1t is this: When going home
from the city market during the summer l
generally drive out an alley and can nearly
always pick up, before I get out of town, a
wagon load of tin cans mos ly of the sizes
in which corn and tomatoes are packed.
These throw down in some out of the way
place until have gathered together as many
as | need. During the winIer-when not
busy-we build fire between two logs and
when we get good bed of Goals, throw on
a bushel or so of the cans In an incredibly
short time the tops and bottoms will drop
off and the sides pop open, then with long
stick we toss them out. The operation is
then repeated, and so ON until all are opened.
They are then gathered up and put away.
Some fine broom wire is next procured and
cut with nippers so that when the ends are
hooked and fastened together they will each
make loop of the proper size to go over a
can. The sides of the can should be Tapped
say three-quarters of an inch. The natural
spring of the can will keep the wire in its
place. The cans are all prepared in this
way and stored in some old shed till needed
in spring. About three months before it is
safe to set plants in the open ground we
make hot bed and SOW the seed. In about
six weeks the plants will be about three or
four inches high, when a milder hotbed is
made and the cans set in as thick as they
will stand and filed with rich soil. Into
each can is set one plant and allowed to
grow for four or five weeks until they begin
to crowd, then they may be separated so as
to have plenty of room and let stand until
safe to plant out. When the ground is
marked off take a spade and throw out a
spadeful of soil where each plant is to grow
and if little bonedust or other fertilizer
is mixed in so much the better. Now lift
the plants, can, soil and all, and set in boxes
convenient to handle and haul to the field;
set can and all into the hole so that when
the soil is drawn in the surface will be about
one inch higher than top of can. Cut the
wire with nipper and lift the can off; this
will leave the roots absolutely undisturbed
Hoe in the soil and the work is done. Plants
so set out will never wilt. 1t is grand
plan to wet the plants well before lifting
from the bed. In this way have often
made good thing off an acre of plants
before others have any to sell.
ga great deal, however, depends on the
seed you use. used to use Acme but have
lately used Livingston's Beauty"

The Russian Apple in Florida.

1t would seem at present, says the Florida
-AgrtculturiSt, that the Astrachania family
of apples do best in South Florida. One
would naturally suppose that the wild apple
of Southern Europe would be the parent of
our successful sorts. We have, however,
many instances of Red Astrachan and
Duchess of Oldenburg doing we'll here.
Should future experiment bear out this
promise it must be because of inherent Wig
or. The Russian apples have Travelled from
Western Asia to the wide plains of the Rus
sian Empire, adapting themselves to the
most widely varying conditions of heat,
cold, dryneSS and humidity. In the United
States they succeed almost universally,
being grown farthest North and fartheSt
West of any.
The characteristics of the Russians are
thick, stout, buds, large, thick leaves, hav-
ing few pores and a good heavy system of
roots. This peculiar quality of leaf no doubt
gives the ability to bear the extremes of
summer heat and winter cold, coupled often
with excessively dry air, and the general
vigor throughout seems to give ability to
succeed under quite varying conditions of
soil and climate.
The varieties mentioned possess the best
qualities found in an apple, being of good
size, very smooth, of good flavor and are
quite acid. No apple cooks better. have
seen the Tetofsky as large tree and doing
particularly well in Southern Kansas, even
better than far north. 1t is an early apple.
AS to season the list would run thus: Te-
tofsky, Red Astrachan, Duchess of Olden-
burg Wealthy would come next in sea
son, and probably is the best, certainly the
best looking. 1t is of Russian descent
| have only mentioned those Russians
that have adapted themselves to all regions
and become favorites everywhere. There
are many hybrids of Siberian apples with
common sorts of considerable excellence,
some of which may be of use here Should
the plan of working this family, or the
common apple, ON LeConte stocks, work as
well as experiments seem to indicate, we
will be able to add still another to the val
liable fruits of Florida.

Popular Science.


Some of the animals of Japan are quite
different from the same species that are
seen in America. The cats, for instance,
have the shortest kinds of tails or else none
at ALL Being deprived of this usual play
thing they are very solemn pussies. An
American once took one Of these tailless
cats to San Francisco as a curiosity and it
utterly refused companionship with the
long-tailed feline specimens there; but find
ing cat whose tail had been cut off by ac-
cident the two became friendly at once
japanese dogs are almost destitute of noses,
having the nostrils set directly in the head
The smaller the nose the more valuable the
breed.
We learn from the Cronstadt Vefstnik
that the Tchesine, one of the large iron
clads of which four are in process of being
built for the Black Sea fleet, is to have the
boiler furnaces fitted to burn liquid fuel
The Tchesine, it may be remarked, was
launched few months ago, and will soon
be ready for sea. The principal armor
plating is 16 inches in thickness and the ar
mament includes six 12-inch guns In an
nouncing this intended use of liquid fuel the
Cronstadt Veistnik AYERS that the object Of
the Russian government is ito render the
Black Sea feet totally independent Of Eng
lish coaln If the trial results in a success
the whole of this fleet will in future burn
astaki.
According to the american Druggist a
substitute for gum arabic recently patented
in Germany is made as follows Twenty
parts of powdered sugar are DO led with
seven parts of fresh milk, and this is then
mixed with 80 parts of 81 per cent solu-
ton of silicate OF sodium, the mixture being
then cooled to 122' +. and poured into tin
boxes where granular masses Will gradu-
ally separate out, which look very much
like pieces of gum arabic. This artificial
gum copiously and instantly reduces Fehl-
ings solution so that if mixed with pow
dered gum arabic as an adulterant its pres
ence could be easily detected. The presence
of silicate of sodium in the ash would also
confirm the presence Of adulteration.

and the narrowing was repeated. After all
this search the soil was saturated with raw
oenzine oil at the rate of 1875 pounds to Al
square feet, and the fields were then shut
up, The fields will not be cultivated next
year, but will be strictly examined from
time to time, small groups of potatoes being
planted to attract whatever insects may
survive. Raw petroleum is equally as eff
cacious as the other oil and was used in some
cases. This is a good example of the thor
oughness practiced in German farming.

DISCRIMINATING the Potato Bug.

The Colorado potato beetle appeared on a
potato field at Malitzch, Torgan, Germany
on July last, being the first instance of
the kind on the Continent. The effective
measures that were taken to exterminate
the pest and with apparent success, are a
striking example of how similar measures
might effect great saving in this country
from attacks of new insects.
As seon as the attack was discovered the
whole surrounding country for six and a
quarter miles was quarantined and all fields
inspected by specially appointed Surveyors.
Placards with colored illustrations of the
insect were distributed everywhere in order
TO put the inhabitants ON their guard A
thorough investigation disclosed that nine
small potato plantat ons lying close together
and covering about six and a half acres
were attacked. The quarantine was linn
tied to this district and the eggs, larve and
beetles were gathered under the strictest
supervision. Then the soil was removed
from about the plants, being carefully
searched for larvae and chrysalides. The
plants and roots were then carefully gath
cred and placed in pit about four feet
deep in layers four inches thick, each layer
being thoroughly saturated with raw ben
zine oil which, in a short time, destroyed
the plants and any beetles adhering to
them
After piling up five such layers the pits
were completely covered with earth. The
infested fields were then plowed 10 or ~
inches deep, careful men following each
pillow and collecting any larve, chrysalides
or beetles that were turned up. This plan
was followed when the land was narrowed.

Messrs. Chickertna @ Sons:

MeSSrS. Chickeripg e Sons.
GENTLEMEN--About two years ago | had
occasion to use one of your Concert Grand
Pianos At the time | was so much inn
pressed with its general excellence that |
have continued using your pianos both for
my concerts and for my own private use
since
This has been done with the greatest salts
faction to myself, and can truly say that
my decision has been justified by the re.
suits.
Your pianos possess in Slperldtiue degree
all the excellence required in n first-Class
piano. While retaining the wonderful sing
ing quality for which the Chickering Piano
has always been so justly celebrated, and
has held the highest position in the art in
dustues, you have gained the MAXIMUM of
power, still retaining the even balance of
the scale throughout all the registers.
These qualities combined with the perfec-
ton of the action and general mechanism
have placed your pianos, in my estimation,
at the head Of the pianos of the day, and
enables me to say with enthusiasm that
prefer them to any other make.
